Concordia University Budget Cuts

Sir I am new student in the Concordia University and when I was depositing the fees I heard about the Concordia university’s budget cuts so I want to know that when the first budget cut was done and how it influences the university

Concordia University is a public comprehensive university located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

It was founded in 1974

Hey buddy the Concordia university’s first budget cuts came in the wake of the PQ’s electoral victory in august of 2012.

Halfway into the 2012-13 academic year, the new government announced serious cuts across Quebec’s budget, including education.

As a result, Concordia was forced to integrate a $13.2 Million cut into the budget of their current fiscal year, already more than halfway done.

Concordia has now been forced to absorb $36.6 Million in cuts to its revenues, while expenses continue to grow at a fixed rate across the majority of their budget (the largest proportion of which is dedicated to salaries fixed by collective agreements)

Effect on the students fees

Perhaps the most dangerous effect of these cuts is the serious financial pressure it creates within universities.

Quebec’s universities have been claiming a substantive level of underfunding for well over a decade now, and it was precisely this line of argumentation that led the Liberal Charest government to try and raise tuition drastically in 2012.
